Mexican fans disrupt England's sleep ahead of World Cup match

Dozens of Mexican fans gathered outside the England national team’s hotel in Mexico City before their World Cup round-of-16 match against Mexico, attempting to disrupt players’ rest. Armed with loudspeakers, horns, and fireworks, the fans ignored police efforts to disband them. Earlier in the tournament, similar tactics were used before Mexico's match against Ecuador, which resulted in a 2-0 win for Mexico. England manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledged the likelihood of disruption but minimized its potential impact, stating that players could catch up on rest later in the morning. The match is set for a 6 p.m. kickoff on Sunday.
